We therefore present a detailed cost analysis that was performed for 17 metropolitan areas in 15 different countries. Furthermore, we show the results of a comprehensive survey that was conducted in the canton of Zurich of Switzerland, with the intent ...Encyclopedia Entry -
Policy Instruments to Reduce Carbon Emissions From Road Transport
